Here is an example of the impact of pipelined compilation:

In the blue/purple graph, only the blue typechecking portion of a dependency's build needs to complete before kicking off subsequent builds that depend on it. The purple machine code generation portion can continue in parallel.

It doesn't work any more on Raspberry Pi.

What happens?!

Judging from the 1.38.0 changelog, this one looks like a fairly toned-down Rust release. Nevertheless, bug-fixes and performance improvements as usual.

I think I'm going to skip this one until the recently stabilized async-await feature has finally made it in the next version. :)

It's in beta though. Planning to move ahead and start using it in our team now.

Please file bugs! We only backport major stuff to beta, but this is such an important feature that hearing about things early is even more important than it usually is.

Will do. Have been doing extensive tests with nightly for a while and it's been quite good except that lifetime bug that happened at 9/11...
